OpenAI is launching its next internal security sprint to harden its systems, partnering with Cathedral to leverage differentiated expertise in finding weaknesses. The company is also quadrupling rewards in its Security Bug Bounty program for critical findings. This initiative builds on the success of the previous sprint, where 25% of product engineers used Codex to investigate, reproduce, and patch vulnerabilities.
OpenAI emphasizes that traditional cyber defenses are insufficient and advocates for continuous defensive loops using frontier AI capabilities. The company is making its most capable models available to Daybreak customers and has committed $1 billion in subsidized access over six months for frontline defenders protecting essential services and digital infrastructure. OpenAI is sharing its architecture, lessons learned, and a blueprint for empowering cyber defenders across industry and government.
The goal is to keep the defender's window open by proactively finding and fixing weaknesses before attackers exploit them, requiring immediate action across the industry.
